It appears , indeed , morally inexplicable , how those of the Body , probably a large majority , who regard the Trinity as an essential doctrine , a sine qud non of Christian faith and worship , could , on the late occasion , virtually acknowledge ^ as Christians , and even appoint as their conductors to the throne of the Supreme Head of an established Athanasian
